About the Author
Carl Stephens is a men’s psychotherapist and Transactional Analysis practitioner based in Falmouth Cornwall, offering online sessions throughout the UK. As founder of Inner Warrior Therapy, he specialises in helping men explore emotional patterns, develop self-awareness, and build resilience through individual and group therapy. Carl’s work focuses on masculinity, emotional intelligence, and relational growth, providing men with tools to navigate stress, relationships, and personal development. His writing and practice emphasise authenticity, connection, and empowerment, supporting lasting change in everyday life.
Therapy can feel unfamiliar for many men. Maybe you’ve always handled challenges on your own, talking about emotions doesn’t come easily, or therapy just hasn’t felt like something you’d try. Yet stress, self-doubt, anger, relationship issues, and a sense that something is missing are common experiences — and they don’t have to remain.
Men’s group therapy offers a different approach, providing connection, insight, and support in a safe, guided environment.
What is Group Therapy?
Group therapy is a small gathering, typically six to ten men, led by a qualified therapist. Participants work on themselves while engaging with others, practising authenticity, honesty, and emotional awareness. Unlike one-to-one therapy, group work allows you to experience relationships in real time, noticing patterns, receiving feedback, and exploring connection.
Hearing others’ experiences and reflecting on your own responses builds awareness and fosters emotional growth, helping you navigate both personal and professional relationships with clarity.
Why Group Therapy Works for Men
Many men grow up with messages like stay strong, don’t show weakness, or handle it yourself. While these messages can be useful, they often lead to isolation, stress, burnout, and superficial connections.
Group therapy addresses these challenges by:
Reducing isolation: Realising you are not alone with your struggles.
Learning by observing: Seeing how other men manage emotion, conflict, and relationships provides insight into your own patterns.
Receiving honest feedback: Respectful reflection from peers helps identify blind spots and supports personal growth.
Building emotional strength: Practising expression, listening, and boundary-setting in a safe environment develops lasting skills.
Research shows men in group therapy experience reduced anxiety, greater connection, improved communication, and enhanced emotional resilience.
What Makes This Group Different
At Inner Warrior Therapy, I use relational Transactional Analysis to explore internal patterns or “scripts” that shape behaviour and relationships. In group, these dynamics are brought into real interactions, allowing men to:
Recognise habitual reactions, like shutting down or people-pleasing
Explore the tension between self-expression and expectation
Challenge patterns that no longer serve them
This process is non-judgmental but honest, fostering growth through curiosity, challenge, and connection.
What You’ll Gain
Every participant experiences different benefits, but common outcomes include:
Greater self-awareness
Improved communication and relationship skills
Reduced shame and increased confidence
Clearer boundaries and understanding of personal needs
A sense of brotherhood and belonging
Feeling lighter, no longer carrying struggles alone
Is it Comfortable?
Growth isn’t always comfortable. Sitting with other men, speaking openly, and reflecting honestly requires courage. You don’t need to have everything figured out, you only need the willingness to engage, listen, and be challenged in a supportive space.
Take the Next Step
You don’t have to go it alone. There is strength in being truly seen by others who are walking their own path. Men’s group therapy in Falmouth Cornwall and online across the UK provides a space to explore who you are, how you relate, and what has been holding you back.
As Carl Jung said: “Nobody gets wounded alone and nobody gets healed alone.” It is never too late to rewrite your story.
